Coronation Street spoilers: New affair in store for Leanne Tilsley and Peter Barlow?

Coronation Street could be set to launch a whole new affair storyline for Peter Barlow and Leanne Tilsley as Nick grows suspicious of their growing closeness – and Peter winding him up is certainly not helping matters! But are the pair really set to go over that well trodden ground or is Nick’s paranoia just getting the better of him?

Given his head injury and the heartbreak he felt after discovering that Carla Connor slept with Robert Preston, Nick has significant trust issues and when he learns that Leanne has gone Christmas shopping with Peter for Simon, he fears the worst.

Nick is already jealous after seeing numerous conversations between Leanne and Peter and while Leanne reminds him that she and Peter will always have to talk due to their connection through Simon, his fears are not put to rest.

Nick grows even more worried when Leanne and Peter are away for longer that he would expect on their shopping trip, little knowing that they have been delayed due to the car being clamped.

But as they sit and wait for the clamp to be released, Peter and Leanne joke, chat and reminisce together, all animosity seemingly healed between them. So does Nick actually have a good right to be fearful that a romance will reform between the couple?

When Nick later warns Peter to stay away from Leanne after hearing of their plans to have an early Christmas Day for Simon so that Peter can watch him unwrap the gifts they bought, Peter winds him up.

But Nick’s retaliation that he is a jobless alcoholic strikes a painful chord with Peter and he sets out to prove Nick wrong. As he puts a plan into action though, it may be set to ruffle a few feathers.
